Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Amie Hornaman DCN, MsN, CFMP. She is also known as The Thyroid-Fixer, a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world and give them their lives back using her transformation program: The COMPLETE Thyroid Fix Method (CTFM). After her own experience of insufferable symptoms, misdiagnoses and improper treatment, Amie set out to help others who she KNEW were going through the same set of frustrations and who were on the same medical roller coaster. She grabs your hand, gives you answers about your health that no one has told you and gives you the actual tools and treatment to fix you. That’s the transformational journey. With a focus on optimizing thyroid function and thus optimizing her patients, Amie looks at each person as a unique individual and not JUST a lab value. She examines all factors that tie into thyroid dysfunction and thyroid symptoms and treats the person from top to bottom to give them their lives back. In this episode, Dr. Amie opens up about her experience with health issues as a fitness model. Despite cleaning up her diet and exercising, Dr. Amie was gaining weight. After seeing six doctors, finally, Dr. Amie was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Dr. Amie speaks about knowing if you have a thyroid disorder and the role insulin resistance plays in your thyroid. Later, we talk about the benefits of keto and fasting when it comes to your thyroid. Tune in as we chat about berberine, toxins, and how to feel in control of your life.

Everybody knows their body. You know when your body is off. Plus, Dr. Amie was tired, and her hair was falling off. The doctor told her to eat less and exercise more.
